Mocha and a Bassinet

Mocha came to visit on Thursday night 
and I had my scrap bin dumped out and strewn about.


She jumped right in and started digging! 
I think Mocha must have been a quilter in a previous life.


Also arriving Thursday night was my friend's family bassinet.
She is about to become a grand-aunt!
Haha that sounds so old.  Sorry Barbarita!
Anyway she was begging for help to make a liner.
"When is the shower?"
"Sunday."
Oh my!!


Luckily I had the perfect fabric in my stash and enough of it to do the job.
I added the hot pink pom poms for a little flair.


The mattress is about 30 years old,
so I covered it with a cotton blanket I just happened to have.


I must say I am very pleased with the results.  
I believe the new mama has sheets that will go with this scheme.
For those of you worrying that this is a 30 year old bassinet,
and it may not be safe . . . 
I have a feeling this is for photo opt purposes only.
Every baby in the family has slept in it.
Now let's just hope that ultra sound was right
and we are having a girl here.
Just incase, I better start looking at my blues and teals!


Here is a parting shot of Mocha in her new life jacket.
Apparently she is going kayaking soon.
Poor little darling.  Her mother dresses her funny . . . all the time.

  2. My baby bassinet looks just like your friends'. It has held me and my babies, plus my cousins and their babies. It is now over seventy and still holding precious cargo... I keep my batting in it! (Still waiting for grandchildren.) I NEED to get a dog!
